"I don't know. Yet." Five told his siblings when they asked who Harold Jenkins is.

"But we do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now." Amura said and stood up, stretching because of muscle pains.

"How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" The girl sighed in frustration.

"I don't know." The boy simply answered.

"Wait, so you just know his name? That's it?" Diego asked making the brunette to look at them.

"That's enough of a lead, you know what my power is don't you?" Amura asked, looking at the man with her amethyst eyes.

"Did-Did you just picked your nose and placed it under the bar?" She asked, looking at the Kraken as if he was disgusting.

Diego kept quiet while Allison were confused, "Yeah, I forgot about that. Care to explain?" She asked with a sarcastic politeness.

The girl rolled her eyes and revert them back to normal, "I'm one of you children and have the power of Clairvoyance, but not only I can see from afar, I can see through anytime, anywhere... But only with an actual image in front of me, as my photographic memory is not great." She summarized.

"How did you eavesdropped on us, without even looking?" Luther asked that made Amura's cheeks heat up.

"Eavesdropped?" Allison asked to Luther.

"When me and Five were talking, Five said she was eavesdropping." He explained.

The said Hargreeves had his lips pursed, trying to stop himself from smiling.

"We are getting off topic here, my power is not important alright?" The brunette asked them, mad and embarrassed.

"Okay, There's probably dozens of Jenkinses out there." Diego stated, changing the topic for them.

"Well, we just better start looking, then." Five composed himself but not enough for him not to be frustrated with his siblings

"I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's skeptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" The Rumor started to rant while the boy groaned, making Amura to glance at him worried.

"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?" Five answered and asked.

"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys." Klaus sarcastically said.

"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk." Diego sarcastically answered too, making the girl to purse her lips this time.

"Yeah. Them." She quietly answered.

"They were sent by the Temps Commission to stop us from coming back and preventing the end of life on Earth." The younger-looking Hargreeves said and pointed to himself and his partner.

"The Temps what?" Allison asked with her arms crossed.

"Our former employer. They monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen... happens." The brunette briefly explained.

"They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days. So we went to Commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics." Five continued.

"'Protect Harold Jenkins.' So he must be responsible for the apocalypse." The boy ended his explanation and waited for his siblings' response.

It took a moment of silence before the said siblings simultaneously talked.

"What do you mean, protect time and space?"

"Where is this Hazel, Five?"

"My skin is on fire."

"Do you have any idea how insane this sounds?"

In between that, Amura muttered to herself, only enough for Five to hear, "I swear to god, this would've been easier if it was just us... But of course, we can't." The girl held the bridge of her nose in frustration.

"Yeah... Unfortunately, we need them." He replied back to her with a groan making her look at him worriedly once again.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah." He only answered.

"You know what else is insane?" The boy asked his sister, "We both look like a 16-year-old kid." He pointed to him and the brunette.

"Klaus talks to the dead, and Luther thinks he's fooling everybody with that overcoat." He pointed to the said siblings.

"Everything about us is insane. It always has been."

"He's got a point there." The Séance weakly agreed.

"We didn't choose this life, we're just living it." Five ended his preach.

"For the next three days, anyway." Amura stated earning a look from everyone which she ignored by turning her back on them.

"But the last time we tried to stop it, we all died. Why is this time any different? Why shouldn't I go home to my daughter?" Allison reasoned.

"Because this time, we're here." The boy answered and pulled the girl beside him, "We have the name of the man responsible. Guys, we actually have the chance of saving the lives of billions of people. Including Claire."

"You know her name?" The tall woman asked, shocked.

"I do, and I'd like to live long enough
to meet her." And that earned Allison's trust.

"All right. Let's get this bastard." She stated, ready to leave.

"You had me at Gerald Jenkins." Diego said and was ready to leave as well.

"Harold Jenkins." The brunette looked up to the taller.

"Whatever. I've already lost two people this week, I'm not losing anyone else." He shrugged which saddened Amura.

The man just pat her head like a child but stopped to look at Luther when Five had asked him, "And Luther?"

"Yeah, you go. I'm gonna stay and go through Dad's files." He answered.

"I still think this has something to do
with why he sent me to the Moon." This made the girl scoff.

"We explained every detail and there was no mention of you nor your Father. Do we have to go through it again for you?" The brunette asked as if the larger man was dumb. Which he is.

Luther just glared at the small girl.

"Seriously? Now you wanna make
the end of the world about you and Dad?" Diego asked his narcissistic sibling.

"No. 'Watch for threats.' That's what he told me. You think that's a coincidence? This all has to be connected somehow." Luther answered him.

"And he doesn't listen too." Amura rolled her eyes and turned around, ready to leave.

"No, we should all stick together." Allison told her... Brother.

"We don't have time for this." Five complained and turned around as well.

"Let's roll. I know where we can find this asshole. Klaus, you're with me." Diego told Klaus, who seems to be sick.

"Yeah. I... I'm good." He said and stood up, "I think I'll, uh... I think I'll pass, I'm..." He walked pass them, "feeling a little under the weather, so, uh..." He finished with a groan while walking back to his room.

And with that, Diego, Allison, Five and Amura proceeded to Diego's car.
